Both C/C++ are loosing popularity relatively speaking, but this 
is not because of the languages themselves. It is because more 
and more applications can be written either fully or in part in 
higher level languages.

So C++ is taking over parts of the former C domain, and other 
high level languages are taking over some parts of the C++ 
application development domain.

But C++ will still be big in 10 years.
